The Elec, one of South Korea’s reliable technology news sites, brought up a remarkable claim about the US-based technology giant Apple. Allegedly, Apple will make a big change in iPhones next year. In this context; It is said that the iPhone 16 Pro will have Face ID embedded under the screen. So how will the system work?
Allegedly, Apple will take Face ID under the screen, thereby enlarging the area on the screen a little more. The device that identifies the user’s face and unlocks the screen with the TrueDepth camera will not be visible after unlocking. The screen design of the phone will be perforated, just like the iPhone 14 Pro. Moreover, it is said that the company may adopt the under-screen camera completely in the coming years and eliminate the screen hole.
The same claim was also raised in May 2022.
Concept design for iPhone 16 series.
The claim brought up by The Elec is not new. Ross Young, one of the important leaks of the display industry, made a post in May 2022 and said that Apple will switch to under-screen Face ID in 2024, and in 2026 it will completely remove the screen hole. According to Rous Young’s statement, Apple will first switch to Face ID embedded under the screen on Pro models.
Under-display selfie cameras are not new technology. In fact, various Android phones with this feature have already been released. However, such a development will be a first in the iOS ecosystem. We have no choice but to wait and see how successful the Face ID and front camera, which is taken under the screen, will be.
